   I am reading the file at position one and then having Pascal put the data into   
   the type (the user record type).  I can read through the file in C# just fine,   
   but not with Pascal (I thought it'd be easier).  I went down this road because   
   of the  real name and handle issue of having "own" appended to the values.
